They learned from the group of owners that the elderly in Building 1 had a recurrence of asthma after being drenched in acid rain. Since there are only young grandchildren in the family, they have not been able to administer the medicine in time, and they are almost dead at the moment.

Chi Yue doesn't remember if there was this in his previous life, but young children and the elderly are indeed the most vulnerable groups under natural disasters.

The later you go, the lower the survival rate.

She retracted her gaze from the downstairs, numb to the death of others. The only thing I just want to do is to survive well with Wen Qizhou in the gloomy end times.

Seeing that it was still early, she and Wen Qi each watched "Planting and Cultivation" and "Postpartum Care of Sows" for an hour, and then went into the kitchen to prepare some cooked food.

In the evening, the TV station interspersed with news interviews.

The interviewees were people with minor injuries who were trapped in public and temporarily unable to return home.

The official was well prepared, and prepared food and medicine for them, but they were not in good condition under the camera.

Even through the screen, the couple could clearly feel their fear and panic.

"The PH has dropped to 3.7." Wen Qizhou measured it again, and couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of natural disasters and the insignificance of human beings.

He sighed to himself, glad that the acid rain would end tonight, but he was worried about the heat that was coming.

There are too many social crises of the collapse of order. Although he didn't experience it personally, he could also think of what would happen to those radical people when the evil thoughts of human nature were magnified.

He stared at Chi Yue's beautiful face, which made people unable to take their eyes off, and said seriously: "Yueyue, are you still holding on?" If we don't, let's go to the gym and practice for a while? ”

They've practiced a lot lately.

Chi Yue's killing moves were well mastered, but the arm strength he had trained in his previous life did not come back, and his physical strength had to be improved.

And he needs to get stronger.

"Okay." Chi Yue followed him to the fitness room.

They warmed up and began to practice, but neither side showed mercy, attacking the opponent's vital point and trying to knock him to the ground.

After three rounds, the winner has not been decided.

Chi Yue, who was covered in sweat, raised his foot to kick his crotch, and at the moment when he was dodging, he found an opportunity to grab his arm, and then gave him an over-the-shoulder fall with all his might.

Wen Qizhou, who fell to the ground, raised his eyes and asked, "If I hadn't hidden, would you have really kicked it?" ”

"How so? I just want to scare ......."

Before the word "you" could be spoken, Chi Yue's ankle was suddenly grabbed by him, and a force dragged her down.

"When you are not sure whether the other party has the ability to resist, you must not be distracted."

Wen Qizhou said as he pressed him.

This is the experience he gained after being bullied again and again with the title of "orphan".

"Of course I do!" If she hadn't trusted him, how could she have been distracted at this time.

The calculated Chi Yue tried his best to break free from his confinement, and then pounced on him to start a new round of sparring with him.

You come and go back and forth, and in the dead of night, you hold up your tired body and go to the bathroom to wash off your sticky body.

The acid rain stopped at four o'clock in the morning.

When the first rays of sunlight spread across the earth, the temperature outside quietly rises to 35 degrees Celsius.

In the middle of May, when summer just begins, people don't feel much about the change in temperature, and they all think that this is a normal phenomenon.

Lu Xu, an elderly man who couldn't live at home, went downstairs and gathered in twos and threes to discuss the acid rain yesterday; Office workers and students are running towards their respective careers and prospects as usual; The injured who were trapped in public made their way home.

The whole city is back to life.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou took advantage of the fact that they could still go out, and went to the shooting hall where he joined the club every morning to practice marksmanship.

The rest of the time is spent reading books, cooking, feeding poultry and practicing sparring.

Life to the fullest repeats itself for a week, and the rising temperature has reached 53 degrees Celsius.

Wildfires are raging at home and abroad, volcanic eruptions occur frequently, many outdoor workers are induced by fever and heat stroke in high temperatures, and the death toll is also increasing visibly.

People are starting to go out less, and both students who have taken early holidays and employees who work from home are living in cool, air-conditioned rooms and refusing to take a step outside.

The couple is adapting well, but the shooting gallery, which has a dismal business, is ready to close.

After the last gun practice, they endured the sweltering heat and drove back to Yujingwan, only to see a power outage in the community.

"There seems to be someone on the first floor." Chi Yue vaguely heard a conversation and called Shang Wen Qizhou to climb upstairs from the safe passage.

"Hey! Isn't a circuit failure killing at this time? What does the property say? How long will it take for power to be restored? ”

"It seems like two hours."

"This weather is so torturous! If it doesn't rain, forget it, there will be a power outage! Who can stand it like this? ”

"Not really."

Four young men and two old ladies each sat on the sofa in the lobby with their faces bitter, each carrying something they had bought at the supermarket.

Hearing the footsteps, they all turned their heads to look at Mrs. Wu, who had a mole on the left side of her face, and greeted the couple: "Xiaowen, you just came back from outside?" ”

Mrs. Wu lives on the eleventh floor.

She is a well-known "big speaker" in the community, and if anyone's gossip is known to her, it will definitely spread.

Wen Qizhou smiled and bowed: "Hmm." He said of the power outage: "It's normal for electrical circuits to have problems with temperatures like this, and I've heard that many places in the city are down. ”

"Did the power company fix it?"

"No problem now." He paused for two seconds: "But if it continues to heat up, they may not be able to take care of it." ”

Chi Yue looked at the opportunity and said, "Qizhou, my cousin said that many people have been buying solar panels recently, should we also buy one?" I'm afraid it won't be out of stock after a while. ”

Chinese people love to follow the trend and rush to buy.

Especially when you are not sure whether there will be a power outage, it is easy to feel a sense of urgency when you hear the keywords "many people are buying" and "it will be out of stock after a while".

Mrs. Wu couldn't sit still: "Xiaochi, how much are the solar panels you said?" Is it enough to buy a piece? ”

"I don't know." Chi Yue pretended not to understand: "You ask the merchant?" ”

A young man who understands a little bit said: "The power generation board is based on the electricity demand of your home to determine the wattage, if your family has to turn on the air conditioner, it will be at least 3 kilowatts to drive." ”

"But the area of the three-kilowatt power generation panel is too large, about 20 square meters, can you fit it in your house? If you can't put it down, you might as well buy a kerosene generator. ”

"The generator is too fuel-guzzling." The girl next to him disagreed: "I think it's more cost-effective to have a power panel, and it's not that it can't be connected in series, so why don't you just buy a few more?" ”

The four young people debated, and the two old ladies listened in a fog, and they didn't know how to choose.

But no matter which one they choose, they will always include it in their shopping plans, and Chi Yue's purpose has been achieved.

She knows that she is not as good as everyone else.

The more people who own generators/panels, the less likely they are to attract attention when they look at home.

*

Through Mrs. Wu's publicity, many residents in Yujingwan are organizing groups to buy generators or solar panels.

Of course, there are also some tenants and groups who think it is unnecessary, and some people even ridicule those who follow the trend and buy in the owner group, saying that they are driving sales for merchants.

Until

The temperature climbed to 57 degrees, and Sui City announced power and water rationing, and the group of people couldn't laugh.

They looked around for ways to buy generators/panels, but the merchants had already sold out and couldn't restock.

Thick-skinned people begged to be taken in in the group, but no one took care of them, so they could only go to the parking lot to cool off during the power rationing time.

Chi Yue couldn't help frowning when she saw four or five households posting videos of air conditioners running in the group to show off to them.

"Pray for the boat, look." She replays the second video: "He filmed the water and food in the house. ”

"He did it on purpose?" Receiving a positive response, Wen Qizhou could only say: "It's too stupid." ”

The ancients once said that "wealth is not exposed", and now the value of grain and water is comparable to gold and silver, who would be so good?

Moreover, people's hearts become more and more impetuous, and those who can't buy charging pads are hard not to be angry.

He picked up the hanger in front of his lap: "When the water and electricity are completely cut off, his house will definitely be the first to be robbed." ”

"That can't be helped." It's impossible for her to remind her anyway, what if the other party is robbed and slanders her as an accomplice?

Isn't it asking for trouble?

Chi Yue took out the cut watermelon, forked a piece and fed it to his mouth, lowered his eyes and asked, "Where are your socks and boxers?" ”

After receiving a notice of power rationing in the morning, Chi Yue asked him to move to the master bedroom and live with her in the future.

Although most of the reason was to save diesel fuel for the generator, Wen Qizhou still couldn't hide his joy and packed it up early.

"Put the storage box." He hung up his clothes in an orderly manner, turned his head and said, "Yueyue, you take out the underwear we bought, and I'll put it in the washing machine to wash it." ”

When Ji Yue ordered clothes for the first time, she forgot to ask for disposable underwear, and she had to wash them all before she could wear them.

By the way, she took out another underwear washing machine, and said vaguely: "If you can't finish washing, keep it for the evening." ”

The supply of water and electricity is divided into two time periods.

They are from 1 to 3 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., and although they do not lack water and electricity, they can save money.

"Okay." Wen Qizhou came back after ten minutes, and clicked on WeChat's unread: "Brother Yuan asked us if we would go to the supermarket?" ”

"Go ahead." Chi Yue looked at the milking instructional video on the iPad, and said softly: "It's time for us to buy things too." ”

"Then I'll make an appointment with him."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the three met in the hallway.

Yuan Chuan lives in 2602 with his parents, wife and children.

He was a track and field athlete, with a stronger than average build, dark-skinned and an unpretentious face.

"How much money did you bring?" After asking, he found that this sentence was wrong, and he smiled embarrassedly: "I heard that the price has risen again, and a 350-milliliter bottle of water has been sold for sixty." ”

The couple knew his kindness.

After all, they had helped each other many times in their previous lives, and he had also saved Chi Yue's life, and the other party's character was clearly visible.

"So much?" Chi Yue walked downstairs in the middle of them: "We brought 10,000, it should be enough, right?" ”
